  • Prisoner Testimonies of Torture in United States Prisons and Jails
    Survivors Speak Prisoner Testimonies of Torture in United States Prisons and Jails A Shadow Report Submitted for the November 2014 Review of the United States by the Committee Against Torture I. Reporting organization The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker faith based organization that promotes lasting peace with justice, as a practical expression of faith in action. AFSC’s interest in prison reform is strongly influenced by Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) activism addressing prison conditions as informed by the imprisonment of Friends for their beliefs and actions in the 17th and 18th centuries. For over three decades AFSC has spoken out on behalf of prisoners, whose voices are all too frequently silenced. We have received thousands of calls and letters of testimony of an increasingly disturbing nature from prisoners and their families about conditions in prison that fail to honor the Light in each of us. Drawing on continuing spiritual insights and working with people of many backgrounds, we nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems. AFSC works to end mass incarceration, improve conditions for people who are in prison, stop prison privatization, and promote a reconciliation and healing approach to criminal justice issues. Contact Person: Lia Lindsey, Esq. 1822 R St NW; Washington, DC 20009; USA Email: [email protected] +1-202-483-3341 x108 Website: www.afsc.org Acknowledgements This report would not have been possible but for the courageous individuals held in U.S. prisons and jails who rise above the specter of reprisal for sharing testimonies of the abuses they endure.

Greg has shown good behavior and he will make sure to register with the Sheriff’s office as a sex offender as required by law. Great thanks for your support in this matter!

The State Public Works Division develops this report using cost estimates based on contractor pricing which includes materials, labor, location factors and profit and overhead. The costs of project design, management, special testing and inspections, inflation and permitting fees are not included. Cost estimates are derived from the R.S. Means Cost Estimating Guide and from comparable construction costs of projects completed by SPWD project managers. The deficiencies outlined in this report were noted from a visual survey. This report does not address routine maintenance needs. Recommended projects do not include telecommunications, furniture, window treatments, space change, program issues, or costs that could not be identified or determined from the survey and available building information. If there are buildings without projects listed, this indicates that only routine maintenance needs were found. This report considers probable facility needs for a 10 year planning cycle. This report is not a guarantee of funding and should not be used for budgeting purposes. This report is a planning level document for agencies and State Public Works Division to assess the needs of the Building and/or Site and to help support future requests for ADA upgrades / renovations, Capital Improvement Projects and maintenance.
